    hehe I don't know, I think Inflation and DB bloat go hand in hand ;)

    There have been a couple MOOs that attempted to simulate economy.  I =
    quit going there because they also wanted to simulate real life.  Heh, =
    heh.  I am, however, enamored of the concept of a loose-themed MOO in =
    which quota is money.  Programmers would charge "parenting fees" to =
    allow others to create kids of their objects.  The results would be =
    interesting; the desire to maximize return on investment would motivate =
    programmers to scend to new heights of efficiency.  :)

    Unfortunately, I no longer know the addresses of those economy MOOs, nor =
    do I even know if they are still around.
